The 3196 Display Station is a member of the 5250 Information Display System, and can be used with the S/36, S/38, or AS/400 locally attached or remotely attached via the 5294 or 5394 Remote Control Unit. A low-profile typewriter keyboard permits the operator to enter, display, and manipulate data on a 12-inch monochrome screen. This display station performs the same basic functions as the 5291-2 plus a number of added functions. It is capable of displaying up to 1,920 characters with 24 lines of 80 characters each. It also displays a 25th line containing an operator information area.

The 3196 is compatible with the 5291 Model 2 Display Station and applications written for that product will operate on the 3196.

The IBM 3196 Model B10 Display Station displays up to 1,920 characters in Amber-Gold and provides a 122-key Typewriter Keyboard. For administrative purposes, the Model A10 is designated as Model A1Z when ordered as an optional device as part of the System/36 Total System Package (see 5360 and 5362 Sales Manual pages).

Description

Displays up to 1,920 characters in 24 rows of 80 characters each. Each character is represented in a maximum 7 x 14 dot matrix in the 9 x 16 contiguous box matrix. Displays a 94 character set: 26 uppercase alphabetic, 26 lowercase alphabetic, 10 numeric and 32 special characters.

The 3196 offers functions equivalent to the 5291 model 2. In addition, the 3196 offers Record/Play, Set-Up mode, Auto-Dim, a choice of Green or Amber-Gold screens, and Text Assist symbols.

Cable-Thru with Auto-Termination and Screen Glare Reduction are standard.

Display functions include: nondisplay, blinking, underscore, column separator, and reverse image (dark characters on a color background) on a field basis. An operator-adjustable alarm is provided to alert the operator to special conditions. The low-profile keyboard with adjustable slope and 24 application-assigned command functions provides input and control flexibility. Easy-to-use select options, provided from the keyboard, allow the operator to utilize a block or underscore cursor, cursor blink or nonblink. The operator can also elect to display the cursor locations (row/column) and screen attribute codes being utilized as well as set the audible alarm volume.

The 3196 uses field-formatting capability which permits individual fields of data on the screen to be program-defined with various attributes such as protected/unprotected, alphanumeric, normal/intensified, and displayable/nondisplayable.

The 3196 consists of three workstation elements (WSEs): video, logic, and keyboard elements.

Operator Factors: The 3196 has an etched screen, which minimizes glare and fingerprint. Indicators are displayed in symbols on the bottom row of the screen, outside the data area, and provide useful operator information. Updating the screen from the host is accomplished without refresh interruption (i.e., no blinking). An underline-type cursor and a rectangular reverse-video cursor, with blinking option, are provided. An audible alarm is provided to alert the operator. The volume of the alarm can be adjusted by the operator. The cable-connected keyboard can be moved and the video element can be tilted and swiveled to changed the screen angle for the operator. The keyboard slope can be adjusted by the user to 6 or 12 degrees.

Cabling: The cable attachment between the 3196 and other 5250 system components and/or systems may be made with IBM Cabling System or telephone twisted-pair in US and Canada, twinaxial cable, or equivalent. Cable connection: Maximum length of any one twinaxial cable is 1,525m (5,000 ft). Up to seven workstations may be attached to a twinaxial cable via the Cable-Thru capability of the 3196. See "IBM 5250 Information Display System Planning and Site Preparation Guide" (GA21-9337) for cabling information.

Security Facilities: A special nondisplayed input mode provides for fields of data to be program-defined so that they will accept data entered from the keyboard without displaying the data on the screen. A Security Keylock prevents modification or display of the data in the display terminal if the key is turned to the "LOCKED" position.These capabilities and the terminal's ability to identify itself to the host program allow customer-supplied security-program routines to control access to data and audit of actions.

User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of the security and auditability features, for administrative procedures and for appropriate controls in application systems. If sensitive data is sent over external communication facilities, user management may wish to pursue the application of cryptography. For more information on data security controls, see "Data Security Controls and Procedures" (G320-5649).

Setup instructions are included with each machine.

Site Planning and Preparation

These are the responsibility of the customer. The customer should have on hand or should order the "IBM 3196 Display Station Description Manual" for site planning and preparation work.

Customer Responsibilities

The customer is responsible for:

Adequate site, system, and other vendor preparation.

Receipt at customer's receiving dock, unpacking and placement of unit.

During initial setup, install Repair Identification (RID) tags on each element (logic, video, and keyboard) of the 3196.

Contacting an IBM customer service coordinator for attachment of the 3196 communications cable to an on-site serviced IBM control unit where customer access area is not provided.

Determination of the required number of spares.

Calling the National Support Center on a toll-free number for service.

Returning security keys to IBM if any exchange service of Logic WSE is required. (If the keys are not returned to IBM, the customer will be charged for the replacement of the security keys and locks on a time-and-material basis.)

Each customer must order the "IBM 3196 Display Station Description Manual" for site planning and preparation works because this is not shipped with each machine.
